You may travel from Clare to the County Kildare, From Dublin right down to Macroom, But where would you see a fine widow like me, Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe me boys
Im a buxom fine widow that lives in a place, In Dublin its known as ''The Coombe'' Me shop and my stall are all laid out in the street And me palace consists of one room [Chorus] By Patrick's street corner for 35 years I stood by me stall thats no lie And while I was there there's no one would dare To say black was the white of me eye [Chorus] I sell apples,oranges nuts and split peas, Bulls eyes and sugar sticks sweet, On saturday night I sell second hand clothes From me stall on the floor of the street, [Chorus] Now I have a son mick who plays on the pipe, He belongs to the Longford street band It would do your heart good to see them march out On a Sunday to Sandymount Strand
